t Wood county has an idea that its land
is being flooded by water from Hancock and
Henry counties, and will ask the Legislature
to pass additional ditch laws. They want an
act passed, as we learn from the Democrat,
which provides shat when an adjoining
county desires to use any ditch of another
county for outlet purposes, and refuses to
pay for that privilege, that the circuit court
shall appoint a committee of three, to be
composed of disinterested freeholders, none
of whom shall be residents of any county in
which said ditch is located, to go along the
line of the territory in any such adjoining
county to be drained and benefited thereby,
and the committee after SO viewing the
premises is to assess the amount of benefits
to be derived by the lands thus drained. The
committee then reports its findings to the
court, which approves or modifies the same,
in such manner as may be just to all concern
ed, or sets aside tho first committees report
and causes similar proceedings to be had by
second committee, to be appointed in a
similar manner to the first. And when the
assessment made by such committee has
been confirmed by the circuit court, the as
sessment is by the Clerk of the Court certi-
fed to the Auditor of the county coming into
the ditch of another county for outlet pur-
poses, and this assessment is by said Auditor
collected as are other taxes. The money is
then to be transferred to the Auditor of the
county in which, the outlet ditch is located,
and the commissioners of said county
authorize its expenditure in deepening and
widening the outlet ditch, or distributes it
prorata amongst the taxpayers ofsuch ditch"
It's too bad Wood county has SO much water,
more than it knows what to do with, even
after they pass laws compelling the people to
drink nothing else than water over there
We have considerable water over here in
Henry, and some of it runs in from Wood
county, too, but we have made and are max
ing ample provisions to take care of it, with
out passing acts compelling our people to
drink it, either. .5..a.

With this issue is commenced the 35th
volume of the DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST, and
again we greet our patrons upon this our 35th
birthday. To those kind friends who have
lent us helping hand during the past year we
return our sincere thanks, and we can assure
them that, with their assistance, the NORTH
WEST enters upon its new year with renewed
vigor and bright prospects. The paper still
retains upon its subscription books many
names of persons who enrolled when the first
number was issued, which was in September,
1852. May these old residenters live many
years yet and may we continue to have their
blessing and support, is the wish Of the editor.

7. A small refreshment, commonly called

sB The protection of the canals is not a
party question. Democrats and Republicans
are found on each side. Yet, according to
ancient custom, the party controlling the
Legislature will be held responsible for what
is done, no matter to what extent it may be
aided by its opponents. If the Republicans
forget their responsibility and allow the
canal steal to pass the Legislature, they will
find that they have given the next Legisla-
ture and Governor to the Democrats. No
party wants a more popular cry than the as.
sertion that its opponents have been bribed
to sell the canals and have voted to the rail
roads monopoly in the carrying trade

~ The old cry is being revamped by the
Republican leaders in this county, appealing
to the people to elect a Republican Com
missioner and Republican Auditor, and to
assist them in their stale chestnut they are
vigorously maligning and traducing the off,
cial and private characters of our Demo-
cratic officials. The wall is too transparent,
and the Republican boodlers can rest assured
that Democrats will continue to occupy the
Offices in the court house. Good men will
be nominated and elected by the Democrats.

~ 1t is claimed that the new interstate
commerce law abolishes theatrical rates,
week end tickets, shippers tickets, extra
baggage allowance, round trip tickets, eI-
cursion rates to Kansas, California, Florida,
etc., trip passes, and, in fact, passes of all
descriptions, except those for the use of
employees. If this should effect the contract
of railroads with newspapers for transporta-
ton, our creditors will know where to lay
their fingers on us at any time. We can't

front with new edition of the whipping
post in the shape of Hickory Switching
Clubs" These clubs make it their business
to deal with those drunken wretches, who
squander their earnings and leave their
families destitute. Warning is first given
the offender to mend his ways, and if not
needed, committee from the Club visit
him, take him to the nearest tree and pro-
ceed to remonstrate with him. When the
wretch yields to the force of their arguments,
and becomes insensible, he is thereupon
released, and strange to relate, no cases are
reported where second "remonstrances" are
required.

are always higher when a Republican is
Governor of Ohio than when a Democrat is
Governor. For instance: The Governors
contingent expenses for the fiscal year end
ing November 10, ISS6-under Governor
Foraker-were $3,4O5.40; while for the fiscal
year ending November Is, 1SS5-under
Governor Hoadly-they were 2,543.2O. That
is, they were $S62.2O more under Foraker

tons Gap "at daybreak next morning" He
was twelve miles away. If the march had
been made that night the fate of battle might
have been changed. Franklin would have
passed Champions Gap without opposition,
and thus been safe between the two parts Of
Lees army On the north and south As it
was, he reached the Gap about noon Of the
14th. The Confederates were fully apprised
OF his movements by that time, and McLawS
had sent Gen. Cobb with three brigades to
meet him. There was bloody fighting for
three hours. Franklin and his men defeated
Cobb, gained the crest of the Gap and passed
beyond and westward down into Pleasant
valley, between South mountain and Elk
mountain.
Gen. Lafayette McLaws rendered efficient
aid to the Confederates throughout the whole
Maryland campaign, beginning at the siege
of Harper's Ferry. He also distinguished
Gettysburg. Gen. McLaws was Georgian
and graduate of West Point In 1912. He
served In the Mexican war. bis active fight
ing life continued through the whole OF the
civil war, and he surrendered finally with
Lee in 1865.
In what may be called the three Gap fights
on South Mountain that Sunday, September
II, 1862, the Federals were in every case act
ually victorious. But the strategic victory
was all on the side Of the Confederates.
That day gave time for Lees scattered forces
TO begin to get together again d. 81. Hill
says that he was fighting for time" all that
bloody day. He gained it. If McClellanis
army had crossed the passes even one day
earlier Harper's Ferry mighthave been saved
to the Federals, and Lees army would have
found it impossible to reunite.
